New York Muslim police officers society sends relief goods to flood-hit Pakistan
NEW YORK (AA) – The New York Police Department’s Muslim Officers Society sent their first shipment of relief goods to flood-hit Pakistan on Sunday.
The clothes and cleaning materials collected by the members of the society for people affected by the floods that hit Pakistan in August were dispatched to the country from John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Speaking on the occasion, Adeel Rana, the head of the NYPD Muslim Officers Society, said millions of people’s homes were under water in Pakistan and they needed all kinds of help. He added they would continue to send aid from New York after the first cargo.
The society’s vice chairman, Ali Hammutoglu, said they established delivery centers at three different points in New York and much more aid materials were collected in a short time than they expected.
For the next cargo, 20 tons of medical supplies to be used in first aid activities will be sent to the disaster victims in Pakistan, he added.
